Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during a first orthopedic consultation?
The provider will review your history, perform a physical examination focused on the affected joint or area, and may order imaging such as X-ray or MRI. A treatment plan will be discussed, starting with the least invasive options appropriate for your condition.
How do I know if my joint pain needs orthopedic evaluation?
Pain that persists beyond a few weeks, limits daily activity, worsens with rest, or follows a significant injury warrants evaluation. Sudden swelling, inability to bear weight, or a deformity after an injury should be assessed promptly.
What is the difference between orthopedics and physical therapy?
